Thanks to Ann.
You made me laugh, something I really needed to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Lisa...thanks for that, Mimi and Ann!
ReplyDeleteOh, those are really good!

I beg to differ on the shin bone one. Early the other morning (about 4:30) I got called to the hospital. I had woken up with thoughts about my mother and managed to hear the phone ring. In my wild dash to answer it I rammed my thigh into the corner of a small table. I now have a huge beautiful bruise and bump.
ReplyDeleteI have also been know to stub my toes on the bed post in my wild dashes (maybe one of these days I will place a phone by my bed so I don't have to dash) but I don't ever remember banging my shin bone.
These are wonderful. Thanks for the good laugh.
ReplyDeleteDP, is origami what you do to pass the time in the school breaks?
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, shall I add thighs and toes to the post? Since I walk around in socks in my house, my toes are likely to get more banged up than my shins - and that's in daylight.
